The Apostle John reduceth all the cares, courses, studies, endeavours, opinions or practises, of the Children of this world, to one of these three, 1 Joh. 2, 16. the lust of the flesh, peculiarly so called, uncleanness, wantonness, gluttony, drunkenness. The lust of the eyes, when the soul is catched with something from without in the world which tempteth, such a thing is goodly to the eye, it entereth in upon the soul by the senses, riches, houses, lands, brave apparel, ornaments, &c. The pride of life, so called, because where Pride reigns, a man will as soon quite his life, as that thing which his proud ⟨p. 144⟩Spirit loves, he had rather be dead before he get not his pride satisfied, so that his pride and his life are all one to him, and as it were things convertible.
